Google Summer of Code 2009

This is the first week of the Google Summer of Code - an event uDig is once again pleased to take part in. This year we have two fascinating projects:

• Web Map Tiles for uDig - Tobias Sauerwein is going to go beyond the WMS-C support uDig currently enjoys and branch out to tile server implementations. Check the above link for details.


• netCDF - Andrea Antonell is tackling one of the most expressive raster formats known. This project should produce both wonderful visuals; and some interesting user interface design challenges.

Check back weekly for updates on both these projects.

uDIg 1.2-M4 Released

Another 1.2 milestone release for your testing pleasure. This release includes lots of fixes for WMS-C support. WMS and WFS support has been heavily tested against the Australian SLIP data services.

This release of uDig can be found in the usual location:
Unstable Downloads

The SLIP portal has been featured on our data wiki page for some time. Once you have signed up you are sent a user name and password which you can enter when connecting to their data services.



I would also like to thank OpenGeo for the excellent WMS-C tile server "sigma". Sigma is listed in the "Web" view of the main uDig application if you would like to try it out.

Here is what the two data services look like together:
